PAYNE, RUSSELL V.
PAYNE, RUSSELL V. is a Texas oil lease in Chambers County, Railroad Commission district 03, operated by Headington Oil Company. It has 2 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from September 1993 to August 2026, totalling 100,401 barrels. The lease is currently producing. Fitting a decline curve to that history and pricing the remaining production at today's forward curve values the whole lease — a 100% undivided interest — at about $612K, with roughly $118K expected over the next twelve months. An individual royalty owner receives their own decimal interest times that figure. Over the last twelve months on file it averaged 192 barrels a month, about 96 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was October 2024, at 361 barrels. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 22% of what they went on to produce, and that measured error is the range shown on the page rather than a confidence of our own devising.
